Another great budget bottle- Pascual Toso Malbec from Argentina

A year ago, I discovered the incredible Pascual Toso Malbec from Argentina at a local San Francisco store- K&L Wines. K&L is arguably my favorite wine store in the world. I may have many more places to travel, but I seriously doubt I will ever find a place as incredible as this. Their selection is truly amazing, and it has no boundaries. From the most obscure wines to the mainstream, K&L has always delivered for me. 

I subscribe to K&L's email list, which often features wines under $10. When they featured this wine (currently their best seller of all time), I figured I had to give it a try. It was amazing. A little spicy, amazingly smooth, and beautifully rich in color. I was tempted to write about it, but felt it was such an obscure wine, that I would simply be tempting you all with something you might never have the opportunity to try. Then last Wednesday happened...

I went to Costco with my friend Sarah to grab supplies for my buddy (and her husband) Jared's 30th birthday party. As we were perusing the pretty robust alcohol section (my apologies to my Canadian parents and friends who have alcohol-less Costco's),  I was shocked to find this wine being featured at the end of the wine aisle. I convinced Sarah to grab a couple bottles, and of course I didn't leave empty handed. I got home and poured myself a glass. It was just as delicious as I remember it being a year prior. The new vintage was just as good as the old. A rare feat for some wineries.

While i'm yet to hear what Sarah thought, I'm confident that she and you will enjoy this wine. I encourage you to look for it the next time you hit up your local Costco. At $8.50 a bottle it is a true bargain.

Final Recommendation- Definitely buy it

I agree! The Pascual Toso Malbec is a terrific budget vino and K&L's should start a franchise.
Nice shout out to both!

Cheap wine with good flavor = panacea. Good to see another fan of the flavorful with an empty wallet :P
